Boat carpet vs vinyl.

The advantages of vinyl far outweigh those of carpet. We are finally here to tackle the age old question of carpet versus vinyl when it comes to pontoon flooring. Seen vinyl shrink as much as an inch on all sides. When it comes to pontoon boat flooring you have an important decision to make.

That decision is whether you decide to go for carpet or vinyl for your pontoons flooring. The vinyl flooring has many benefits to offer such as cost efficiency. If you ve been in the pontoon boating community for at least 3 years you might have witnessed the ascend as a boat flooring material. My boat is 7 feet wide.

When you get your vinyl laid go back and seal your perimeter with some 3m 4200. Carpet just holds moisture to the wood. Boat carpet is no longer the top choice in boat flooring. Keeps any dirt debris and water from getting behind it.

Vinyl flooring can also give your boat pontoon a nice flair of style. One pontoon had the marine vinyl installed. You can get the flooring in a variety of styles colors and thickness depending on your preference. Much better for the boat then carpet especially with plywood flooring.

I then stopped at lowes and got a few samples of marine carpet. What it really comes down to is whether you prefer the practicality which vinyl offers or the luxurious comfort which a nice soft carpet provides. It looked good but could easily see how slick it could become. It makes me want to the carpet for the decks and tuff coat for the floor and console.
